Dear Editor:
In response to Peter Larrabee, Aimee Clark Todd, and David D. Murray's letters to the Editor, the facts as they exist are we have 6 million unemployed and qualified Americans who are being overlooked by employers who want to exploit cheap foreign labor at any cost. The increase we have seen in offshoring is employers simply taking it one step further by hiring even cheaper labor in the foreign country itself to gain the purported competitive edge and increase their profit margins. It has very little to do with any H-1B cap.

Dear Editor:
Did you post the right processing time? For example, I-140 for skill workers, BCIS Lincoln is Sept. 2003, yours are May 2004. Big difference.
